Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 802

Chapter 802 Reward

For the next steps, he needed to release controlled pulses, breaking the mana flow into bursts that sent smaller, timed pulses.

This allowed him to create multiple echoes from a single motion. Each pulse had to be precisely timed with each swing, so each echo matched the original strike.

This stage emphasized timing, as Atticus had to carefully control how much mana he released and when. He progressed quickly, creating echoes that had 10% of the original strike's power, and soon moved on to the next phase.

With the echo formation under control, Atticus moved on to amplifying each echo's force.

This step was more complex. Atticus had to split his focus, holding mana in his weapon to amplify the force of each echo.

He simultaneously channeled pulses and created a small energy reserve within his weapon, which he could release as a powerful shockwave at the end.

The energy reserve was for a final, impactful wave after multiple strikes. It took some practice, but Atticus managed to do it successfully.

His ability to improve during battle helped him immensely here as he trained the art while battling with Magnus. Atticus then moved on to layering the pulses, which was important for increasing his proficiency with the art.

Here, he concentrated more mana into each echo, fine tuning each layer to control its direction and strength.

Inside the advanced training room, two streaks of blue clashed in a symphony of supersonic booms.

Countless azure slashes filled the space as Atticus and Magnus sparred.

Magnus's aura was calm, his gaze steady as he parried the oncoming azure slashes with ease.

Even as his form blurred with speed, Magnus's sharp gaze remained fixed on Atticus, assessing each move.

In one instant, Atticus released a powerful downward swing, and in the next, they multiplied into numerous slashes, each carrying a fraction of the original force.

Magnus, though he looked calm, was very impressed. He knew his grandson's capabilities, but witnessing them firsthand was always something else.

A paragon ranked art like this one had a steep learning curve, typically requiring months, if not years, to master. For Atticus to reach this level within a week was astounding.

But that wasn't all. Atticus's rate of improvement was remarkable, and his battle sense was razor sharp. As the battle bagan, Atticus entered a state of absolute focus, with every action and move feeling deliberate and intentional.

As they fought, Magnus noticed something surprising: Atticus had no clear openings in his movements. Any gap Magnus saw was merely a bait.

This didn't mean Magnus couldn't land an attack, but if they had been on equal footing, with the same strength, it was likely he wouldn't have been able to touch Atticus.

These observations thrilled Magnus, and as the fight raged on, he called out,

"That's enough."

Atticus's descending sword stopped mid-air, and he looked at Magnus, slightly confused.

"You look exhausted. It's time to rest. We'll continue later."

Though reluctant, Atticus knew there was no changing Magnus's mind.
